Edgey Couple’s session on 35mm Film - Wendy & Ben - Brooklyn, NY
I met Wendy & Ben at a wedding I shot for a friend back in 2021. They wore their film cameras as accessories, and I knew immediately- these are my people. Since then, we’ve been admiring each other’s work from afar- they live in Boston and both photograph the indie music scene. When they reached out about doing a couple’s session to celebrate their first dating-anniversary as newlyweds, I was ELATED we could finally collab! They visit Brooklyn often, and crash with their friends who live in Prospect Heights - who also booked me as their wedding photographer in September, thanks to Wendy’s accolades! Let’s just say, they’re great peeps, and I’m lucky to be in community with them.

Block Island Elopement - Taryn & Andrei
I met up with Taryn & Andrei at Mansion beach on Block Island for wedding portraits at golden hour, and some SERIOUS magic happened. These two are just so into each together- the camera ATE THEM UP. And we ended up witnessing the single BEST sunset I’ve ever seen in my life. No joke. Period.
